Chapter 781: The Final Feast


    ?


    From the very beginning, Grehha considered himself a Mammoth nsman, down to the very core of his being. And he was damn proud to be one, even with everything against the Mammoth n, including the existence of the Celestial Boar looming over the Mammoth n''s fate.


    And the build he created at the very beginning was his endgame build. It ounted for all the changes. The direction of thought was the same as In, which was to use swarm tactics. However, the intended motive was different.


    In had nned to use the Prana Bombs of the Zingers to constantly steal the Prana and Lifespan of Brangara, depriving him of the means to make a recovery and remain fighting for long. The army of Zingers was there to bombard Brangara with sheer numbers that outpaced his digestion capabilities.


    Grehha''s n was simpler. He would just destroy all avability of food in the region, converting all organic matter into inorganic matter. This way, Brangara would no longer have anything to consume, which would further weaken him.


    That n had never changed, since Brangara had never had to ount for it. After all, only if it had been used on him would he think of a counter. Unlike the other Mystic Paths, Grehha had never fought Brangara.


    His swarm tactics weren''t to directly wound Brangara. That can be done by the heavy hitters, such as Resha. Rather, the existence of the Bone Vipers was to rapidly convert a region into and of bone.


    This bone, when consumed by the Empyrean Boar King-and now the Celestial Boar-would only be excreted out by its digestive system, wasting time, effort, and the stomach''s digestive capacity.


    Thanks to his job experience on Earth, Grehha knew a great deal about gics and breeding, which was why he aimed for the Supreme Tusk Gann''s ovum from the very beginning. After all, with it, he could get everything he wanted eventually.


    Just by infusing Empyrean Tusk essence in Mud Vipers, he created an egg of the Mutated Silver Grade Pranic Beast-Empyrean Viper. Its Secondary Nature was Internal Inertial Gravity.


    Since he had a time crunch back then, he limited himself to an Empyrean Viper. That was what he could achieve the fastest before the First Major Disaster began. Following that, he simply focused on umting Empyrean Tusk essence in himself through his Empyrean Incubator.


    His build was purely umtive. And only after it reached a certain height would it begin disying its true worth. He had yet to reach that point, even though the Major Treasure of Weapon was what he sought toplete his endgame build.


    However, Grehha wasn''t overly worried about it. If his preparations proved to becking and he fails to acquire Weapon, it didn''t matter much. After all, his build could bepleted through the Major Treasure of Pet too.


    He had nned for two possibilities and had enough guarantee to obtain the Major Treasure of Pet, since his umtion phase would have finished by then.


    Every cultivator, including Resha, had to train painstakingly to be proficient with something. However, it was different for Grehha.


    The theme of survival of the fittest was the rule of Sumatra. The theory of evolution also progressed ording to the rule of the survival of the fittest. All Grehha did was apply that to the Empyrean Incubator and mildly modify his gic information by subjecting the genes to selective environmental variations.


    Thereby, he was able to control the degree and direction of change, manoeuvring the result towards the intended mutation. His n through this was simple. He''ll simply improve his talent.


    Fighting? He''ll stimte his gics in such a way that it was as if his forefathers had spent thousands of years fighting nonstop using martial arts. Intelligence? He''ll stimte the genes again in such a way that it was as if his forefathers were bookworms immersed in the field of study.


    Across the Mammoth n''s history, innumerous geniuses had appeared, each specialised in a certain field. Some managed to realise their potential while others failed and died prematurely. However, as long as they existed and managed to have an offspring, they had seeded in passing on their talents.


    Depending on how the DNA forms, various talents would form in the offspring, influenced by innumerous variables. All Grehha intended to do was selectively umte them all, every single talent that a Mammoth nsman possessed.


    And that also included the talents of the Mammoth nsmen born to Fragment Disease parents and ended up bing Empyrean Tusks.


    Once fully armed with the entire talent capacity of the Mammoth n, reaching proficiency in any field would be a cakewalk for him. With minimal training, he''d gain unsurpassable results, leaving even geniuses in the dust.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    In his original n, he''d obtain the entire talent pool of the Mammoth n a decade before the Fourth Major Disaster and spend the remaining time training. Simply obtaining the Minor Treasure of Corporeal Mixer elerated his ns by another decade, allowing his endgame build to be even greater than his original n.


    ''But with the digestive characteristics present in the Celestial Boar stomach, his growth will be elerated to its extreme.'' In thought as he figured out Grehha''s goal, ''And as he adapts to the changes faster, his Empyrean Viper will also adapt to better ustom his


    growing Natures.''


    Currently, Grehha''s Primary Nature of Spirit Bone was at the Silver Grade. It would have reached the Gold Grade a decade before the Fourth Major Disaster in Grehha''s original n. Now, he''ll simply achieve it in the next two years, all thanks to the Celestial Boar body.


    The Celestial Boar was birthed by the Empyrean Boar King manifesting a significant amount of Empyrean Tusk characteristics. Now, through its stomach, Grehha was gradually imbuing its consumption characteristics into his gic information.


    It allowed him to digest things faster, further amplifying the effect of Corporeal Mixer to create a beneficial cycle.


    "Are these enough?" In asked as he dropped a pile of Biome Bombs before Grehha, consisting primarily of Celestial Boar stomachs and blood. Six of the Biome Bombs were orbs -containing a Bolt of Transcendence in each.


    [Plenty! Thanks, man! I''ll reach my endgame potential as soon as possible. However, I have a request. Your base is at the Ravaged Federation, right? Then...]


    The pir of light emitted by the Minor Treasure of Corporeal Mixer formed a string of words, flickering towards the end, disying Grehha''s hesitation.


    "I got your point," In sighed after a while of thought, "I''ll bring you the Major Treasure of


    Pet somehow."


    [Thanks, In. I appreciate your help. If we manage to survive, I''ll buy you a meal.]


    "A meal?" In rolled his eyes, "You better be ready to cook me a fucking feast. I''ll be the most stuck-up food critic you''ll ever see."


    [Deal!]


    In disappeared from the spot and reappeared at a spot ten kilometres away from the Dungeon entrance. He ignored the Zinger Aristocrats at the scene for the time being and took flight, hovering at a decent altitude above the thicket of trees to stare in the direction of the


    Dungeon.


    A group of Pranic Beasts was marching towards it, led by a Gold Grade Pranic Beast, lured by the Minor Treasure''s presence leaking out of the Dungeon. ''This guy knows how to bring resources to his ce. He''s the pinnacle ofzy growth.''


    In wasn''t worried about any trouble urring in the Dungeon. Just the Gold Grade Pranic


    Beasts he spotted within was enough to cripple an Empire, not to mention the two Expert Gold Grade Pranic Beasts there were on a whole other level, ''They''re not as strong as an Empyrean Tusk or my Zinger Representative, but they''re still strong.''


    "And once Grehha enters the Gold Grade, he''ll have better control over his Empyrean Incubator and could improve the strength of all the variants he has managed to create until now." He muttered softly and thennded on the ground,manding the Zinger Aristocrats, "Search for the trio of Gann, Harr, and Yennda."


    "Make it your highest priority."


    "Yes!" The Zinger Aristocrats nodded and dispersed the information through their channels


    using Zinger Shrieks. In then disappeared and appeared at different Quip n groups, informing them all to search for the trio.


    ''Just where the heck have they disappeared to?'' He frowned and looked at various locations, eventually appearing above a massive sea that had been terraformed. Mineral mountains glistened in the centre, which was now the Cooter n headquarters.


    But no Empyrean Snapper could be seen there, even as In flew through the entire ce in


    his invisible state. There were Cooter nsmen whose poption had ballooned rapidly in their efforts to prepare for war.


    There was an eight-times spike in their numbers, with the Spirit Pools easily able to amodate them all. After all, the number of mineral mountains was in the thousands, operating naturally, simr to what Vir had built at the Dralh Sea.


    However, there was no sight of any Empyrean Snapper, ''The only way they could have


    vanished is through the power of Cultivator. And currently, only Gann can do that.''


    "Who?" The Cooter n Chief shrieked in rm when In suddenly revealed himself in a


    large stone room.


    Secondary Nature-Perfect Biome Domination!


    The Cooter nsmen in the room were the top brass of the Cooter n, all at the 10-Life


    Stage. However, none of them possessed Gold Grade strength, with their strongest only at the


    Silver Grade.


    Their bodies failed to move as the air pressed down on their bodies, holding them tight while


    Prana leaked out of their bodies like a torrent. Multiple Biome Bombs began to appear on the backs of each, sucking out their Prana like mosquitoes.


    [Don''t ask us where we''re heading. Just know that we''ll go into hiding to avoid being targeted


    by the Celestial Boar. And until our return, the Cooter n will continue umting strength.]


    It was the message given to the Cooter n Chief by the newly appointed 1st Empyrean


    Snapper. In the Cooter n Chief''s memories, he was staring at a group of Empyrean Snappers whose figures disappeared amidst the morning mist, never to be seen again.


    In spotted Gann and Harr among the group of Empyrean Snappers. However, that was it. ''Absolute secrecy has been maintained, so no one knows where they might be. That makes sense. After all, these Empyrean Snappers aren''t as strong as the ones killed by the Celestial Boar. Instead of fighting fruitlessly, and bing Brangara''s dinner, they can survive while umting strength.''


    ''It''s apparent that they''re waiting for Wally to enter the Mystic Grade before making a return.''


    In sighed as he vanished from the location, ''I just hope Gann doesn''t do anything stupid. Even if she''s gotten stronger, she should avoid this fight and remain safe.''


    He clenched his hand into a fist, "The seven of us are enough to kill him."


    The fact that someone as strong as Boul Brimgan was on their side came as a relief to him,


    especially since Boul Brimgan could act as both a long-range unit and a closebat unit. ''He''s currently the fastest on Sumatra.''


    "Let''s resume," In said as he returned to the spot within the Biome Lattice, constantly


    extracting the Celestial Boar''s body parts for consumption while feeding it all sorts ofpressed Pranic Beast corpses.


    In, Vir, and Resha feasted upon the Celestial Boar corpses, experiencing a gradual surge


    in their strength. And while this was happening, In also began to refine the item necessary


    to stabilise his bodies at the Life Stage.


    Minor Treasure-Royal Stabiliser!
